Football Bet of the Day: Goals in Gremio

Gremio v Avai
Friday 00:00

In Spain last night, Atletico Madrid taught Mallorca the lesson we hoped they would. The visitors won 2-0 to land our Win to Nil bet.

Today we're in Brazil for one of tonight's Campeonato matches. Eighth-placed Gremio are hosting 19th-placed Avai and we're taking a punt on both teams to score.

Gremio might be unbeaten in seven at the Arena do Gremio, but they haven't exactly been watertight. The hosts have conceded in four of their last five appearances on home turf. Going back into last season, they've now managed clean sheets in just 5/15 Campeonato home matches. They are more reliable at the other end of the pitch: the Immortal Tricolor have scored in each of their last 23 home games.

Life back in the top flight has been a struggle for Avai this season as they failed to win any of their first 16 matches at home and away. Things have started to pick up, however. The Lion of the Island have recently taken 10 points from a possible 15 (W3-D1-L1). They've scored at least once in 4/5 anywhere and in 3/4 on the road. BTTS landed in the reverse fixture - a 1-1 draw back in May - and, at a big price, we'll take it in tonight's match.
